Christian Gifts for Kids: The Tammy Lamb Picture Books
Looking for a Christian gift for a child that means more than a toy?

Each is a paperback, $12.99 on Amazon, made for reading aloud on a lap at bedtime.
Parents, grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles give them for Christmas, Easter, birthdays, baptisms and christenings — here are ideas for every occasion.

Meet the Tammy Lamb Books
Tammy Lamb Looks for God
A curious little lamb goes looking for God — and learns that, like the wind and the sunshine, His love is real and always right beside her.
Tammy Lamb Learns to Pray
Daddy Ram teaches Tammy four simple parts of prayer — praise, thanks, others, asking — and she prays on her own for the very first time.
Tammy Lamb Goes to Church
A joyful Sunday morning, from Sunday School to the sermon about the Good Shepherd who searched for one lost sheep.
Gift Ideas by Occasion
Christmas Gifts for Christian Kids
The Tammy Lamb books aren’t Christmas stories — they’re year-round faith stories, which is exactly why they make a good Christmas gift: they’ll still be read in July. Wrap all three for a grandchild, or tuck one into a stocking. Tammy Lamb Looks for God is a lovely Christmas Eve read, ending with Tammy safe and sleepy in the barn, knowing God is near.
Easter Basket Books
A lamb is a natural fit for Easter. Tammy Lamb Goes to Church centers on the Good Shepherd who searched for one lost sheep — perfect before a child’s Easter Sunday service — and Tammy Lamb Learns to Pray is a springtime story of a meadow walk and a first prayer. Both last a lot longer than chocolate.
Baptism, Christening & Baby Dedication Gifts
A first book of faith is one of the most meaningful baptism or christening gifts there is — something a child grows into and keeps. Give one book now, or the set of three, with a note inside the cover marking the day.
Birthday Gifts for Ages 3–7
For a preschool or early-elementary birthday, the Tammy Lamb books are short enough to finish in one sitting and gentle enough for bedtime, with warm rhyming verse and painted illustrations.
First Sunday & Sunday School
Starting church or Sunday School can feel big. Tammy Lamb Goes to Church walks a child through a whole Sunday morning so it feels friendly and familiar. Sunday School teachers and church libraries use the series too.
Bedtime & Building Faith at Home
Tammy Lamb Learns to Pray gives children four simple parts of prayer — praise, thanks, others, asking — that many families keep using as a bedtime routine.
